I talk to pets as if they're people

I’ve always loved dogs. When I was a kid, I took out all the dog training books from the library. But my dad was allergic. But now I can take are of your dog! I’m a public figure, with the blue checkmark on Facebook, so you know I’m legit. I’m a comedian, actor, celebrity interviewer. I run for politics. And I pet every dog I see. I was an award-winning copywriter at Canada’s top ad agency. I left my job and sold my condo, to be a digital nomad. Now I’m free to help you out! I love walking, so I can take your dog for extra long walks. They’ll love it. And I love playing games with dogs, so they’ll always be entertained. I’ve dog sat for a few friends. I used to take my friend’s dog Ben to my girlfriend Jen’s condo, so Ben could get out of his little apartment in the city and be in the burbs beside a park and beach. One time I walked into Jen’s place and Ben literally gave me a hug, to thank me for the doggie vacation.

House Sitting • Apr 25, 2023

Josh went out of his way to rearrange his schedule when we were suddenly in need of a dog sitter on short notice. And he took very good care of them. Thank you Josh.

Josh is a dog whisperer. He has such a great relationship with our dogs and they LOVE him! He genuinely loves them too, and it shows. He spoils them - in a good way - and walks them as long as they'd like to be out. When he leaves, they'll sit there for the longest time and wait for him to return. (Our kids even got a little jealous of how much the pups like him.) He is kind, courteous, and trustworthy with your dogs and in your home, which is a great thing and not easy to find! If you're looking for someone to care for your fur babies, Josh is your guy.

Josh is an easy-going person who enjoys pets and treats them so kindly. He understands dogs need lonnng walks and play to keep them healthy, mentally active, calm and active. Josh is trustworthy, reliable and friendly. Dogs easily gravitate to him and he enjoys their playful demeanor. I would definitely use Josh again and I highly recommend his abilities when caring for a treasured family member.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm very trustworthy, always covered in the news. So you can see that I'm a responsible public figure. Ask me if you want to talk to any previous clients.

A typical day

We will go on walks as long as the dog wants. I love treating dogs to extra long walks to get exercise, fresh air and explore the area. Dogs love spending time with me. My previous clients say their dogs sit at the door all day waiting for me to arrive.

If dogs are able to go off-lease in a park or anywhere, that's good to know, because I love giving them freedom to run around if they're allowed to. You can tell me if they like walks in parks, the woods or on sidewalks.
